Corinth is located within Denton County, one of the fastest growing counties in Texas, located west of Lewisville Lake with drainage patterns occurring within the City on both sides of I-35E. Portions of development on the northeast side of I-35E contribute to urban storm water runoff through Lynchburg Creek, a major water body that feeds into Lewisville Lake. Lewisville Lake is used primarily for domestic water supply for the cities of Dallas, Denton and surrounding communities, flood control, contact recreation, aquatic life and fish consumption.
The City partnered with the American Geophysical Union's (AGU) Thriving Earth Exchange (TEX) to implement control strategies to mitigate storm water runoff; protect water quality and preserve important landscape features and functions by aggregating the best and appropriate data and standards.
The project team created an innovative, interactive web-based Green Infrastructure Plan using the ESRI Story Map. The Plan includes Green Infrastructure techniques for both residential and non-residential development. Please click the attached link to see our story and how you can make a difference using some of these techniques!
